Your half-day tour will begin with a friendly meet-and-greet at your hotel. An experienced guide from Cairo Top Tours will introduce you to the day's itinerary.
The first stop will be Dahshur, where you'll explore three royal pyramids, including the Red Pyramid of King Sneferu. Known for its reddish hue, it's considered the first true pyramid in history and features the pharaoh's burial chamber. You'll also see the Bent Pyramid, notable for its unique leaning sides due to a construction error.
Next, you'll journey to the ancient city of Memphis, located about 40 kilometers south of Cairo. Here, you'll visit the open-air museum, which houses various historical artifacts, including the alabaster Sphinx—the second-largest Sphinx statue in the world, made from eighty tons of marble—and the colossal statue of Ramses II, which has toppled over time. The museum showcases priceless artifacts from the former capital of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs.
After your tour, your guide will return you to your hotel.
The Half-Day Tour to Memphis and Dahshur usually starts between 7 AM and 11 AM, regardless of the specific time chosen.
